Delaware Museum of Natural History’s 40th Anniversary

When the Delaware Museum of Natural History opened on May 13, 1972 as the first major natural history museum in the nation since 1910, our mission was the same as it is today: to inform and excite visitors about the natural world through exploration and discovery. Come enjoy everything the Museum has to offer and let us share with you our passion for nature and science.  Plus, on May 13, 2012, visitors will enjoy special pricing that hasn’t been seen since 1972: $1 for adults, seniors, and children! We invite you to join us in celebrating the last four decades of exploration and discovery. Delaware Museum of Natural History, May 13th, 9:30 A.M.
